Kensington Oval, Barbados [X]Kensington Oval, Barbados [X]

On Saturday, West Indies will face the United States in a crucial Super Eights clash at the iconic Kensington Oval in Barbados. Having lost their respective opening games, both teams will aim at redemption and would be keen to open their account in the Super Eights points table. 

Led by Rovman Powell, West Indies had a torrid start to the Super Eights as England thrashed them by eight wickets in a high-scoring affair in St Lucia. 

Meanwhile, despite showing great character, the United States couldn't outclass South Africa, falling short of a 195-run target by 19 runs. So, moving on to this encounter, they would be desperate to stun their fellow co-hosts. 

So, as both teams gear up for an exciting clash, let's see how the surface in Barbados is expected to behave throughout the contest. 


Kensington Oval Barbados Pitch Report

The surface at Kensington Oval in Barbados was on the drier side for the high-octane face-off between India and Afghanistan. However, as it's an evening game, the ball might come onto the bat slightly better than it did in that match. 

Still, a slightly sluggish deck is expected for this game, with the pacers likely to succeed with their cutters and slow balls. 

The spinners will also be in the game, getting significant assistance from the pitch. If the wicket is dry, expect the toss-winner to bat first and unleash its spinners in the latter half.
